Done and dusted.

We almost got away with no rain (given what hit down the coast).

The club is stoked with the turnout. Great numbers in all the classes & some seriously epic battles; which look to continue for the rest of the season.

Congrats to those that braved the wet races at the end of the day.

Note: no round in July.

Ok MetService didn't quite get it right. While the entries were down with the wet weather; there were some great racing throughout the day.


Senior Trophy - Redpath Shelters
Coming into the round - 16 points separating 1st to 3rd (Jamie Maindonald, Rogan Chandler, Jay Lawrence).
Jamie dominated in the wet taking three from three extending his lead. Rogan battled hard and showed class on his 675 to take three second places.
With Jay unable to attend (slipping to forth) and Ashton Hughes stepping in to third in the championship - showing class in the wet with two thirds.
The championship remains tight heading into the final round.

Coming into the round 25 points separating 1st to 4th (Richard Markham-Barrett, Roger Cathro, John Medlin, Richard Ban).
Championship leader Richard Markham-Barrett suffered mechanical issues. Roger Catho On his new toy took two from three wins. John Medlin kept everyone honest with two thirds and a second. Eddie K and Malcolm McDonald featuring in the points.

Junior trophy (22 confirmed entries) - Kiwibike Insurance
26 point separating 1st to 3rd (Leon Jacobs, Campbell Greyling, Keiren O'Neill).
Junior class saw some great battles throughout the day. Race one was the highlight with Shayne Lawery and Rhy Lindsay swapping the lead and paint in shocking conditions. Rhy's little 150 not quite having the power to keep out Shaynes KTM.
Championship leader Leon Jacobs switching bikes for this round moving to a 250 production bike maintains a small lead, Shaynes two from three steps him into second in the championship and Campbell Greyling a very close third.

A number of new riders have taken the step into racing and the junior class is growing every round.

While round three was wet, everyone was smiling and enjoying the racing.

More into to come.
